CGI Tutorial

CGI is the
Common Gateway Interface which allows you to create Web pages
on the fly based on information from buttons, checkboxes, text input
and so on. The pages can be images, sounds, text and indeed everything
else transferable by the Web. They can even be references to other Web
pages. In this tutorial we concentrate on creating HTML documents
(rather than images and sounds)
but the principles transfer
readily to other formats. This should provide a good start to cope with
the more comprehensive documentation elsewhere. For example, you should be
able to find your way around the
CGI programmer's reference
with greater purpose, and perhaps some of the
CGI material on Yahoo.
